Five dogs on Dabrowski’s property pursued the bobcat and were able to chase it under a foyer on the residence. Dabrowski’s son, Gene, a director in Sullivan County for the New Hampshire Trappers Association heard the commotion and ran outside with a shotgun.

“The cat darted under a building before I was able to get a good shot, but once I moved the dogs out of the way, I was able to blast him,” Gene Dabrowski told NH1.

Dabrowski said the dead cat had porcupine needles on its chin which is a sign that the animal may have rabies.
